Sony is actually going to market the PS4 fairly well, with no creepy babies!?

Sony to win next gen confirmed.

ABizzel13869d ago

I actually like the Potato Grillers (Potatoes, Bacon bits, Sour Cream, Nacho Cheese), so hopefully that will be in the big box, because it's the only way I'll get one. (The XXL Chalupa was also delicious, but they got rid of it. MORONS.)

UltimateMaster3869d ago

They should also market this in KFC, Subway and Wendy's.

They did Subway with Uncharted 3.

taco bell did this with the ps vita

FamilyGuy3868d ago (Edited 3868d ago )

This is pretty cool and doubt it's just a rumor, Tacobell gave out free PS Vitas around the time of it's launch. I have a friend on PSN that actually won one.

It was one of those peel sticker on a cup things. Instant prize winners. Guess I'm gonnsa have to start buying big boxes for lunch. I'd probably cry if I won one lol.

Goddammit Tyrone, get it together!

Some guy on youtube posted

"This commercial is genius and beautifully done. It's a play on 2001: A Space Odyssey, where the baby doll represents the star child which, in the movie, represents the future of mankind. the PS3 represents the ominous black box that you see at the end of the film. Gah! I love it."

In that sense it's a pretty amazing metaphor, it works well as a teaser, but it really wasn't to great of an advert because of how obscure the theme was.

XisThatKid3868d ago

I understand not what the b**** is all about, Taco Bell held contests and promoted Xbox brands with no problem and the Vita thing I believe was and isolated incident. One bad promo doesn't brand it for life look at Sony's bad rep a year ago or/and two. And no TB never gave me Toco squirts but I have ate some pretty disgusting things from there.

ginsunuva3869d ago

Well they did do Vita giveaways at Taco Bell too.

lilbrat233869d ago

Yes they did and they also failed on that when their system was hacked and people were told they were winners when they were not.

Godlovesgamers3869d ago

True. Craigslist is giving away PSVita's as well. You can snag one for about $120, like new, mint condition and usually with a game, memory card or both included!

Deadpoolio3869d ago

Does nobody remember that Diarrhea dog food bell did the exact same thing with the Vita and that got so screwed up there were actually lawsuits and whatnot when the employees started stealing the codes and then Dog food bell started trying to claim actual winners weren't winners

NarooN3869d ago

LOL yes. I remember that. There was a huge outrage.

Winner: Yay, I won!
Winner 2: Me too!
Taco Bell: LOL NO U

It was the most jacked-up sweepstakes ever.

AngelicIceDiamond3869d ago

Thank god no creepy babies or creepy alien looking girl.

This is a great first marketing ploy from Sony. They need to make the message clear and to the point come this holiday.

lilbrat233869d ago

I don't know I remember the Vita promotion that went ape sh*t after a few people won it and were told they didn't win.

Guwapo773869d ago

Who wants daily mudd butt at merely a chance to win a PS4? I'm good, I'll wait till Nov 15th.

FamilyGuy3868d ago

I think you read the title wrong, it doesn't say McDonald's or Chipotle.

Guwapo773868d ago (Edited 3868d ago )

Taco Bell is a no go for me bro, I get sick every time.

Lior3869d ago

What the hell is Taco Bell? In uk?

Heisenburger3869d ago

You see, after the great food wars the only chain to survive was Taco Bell.

So every restaurant, diner, so on and so forth is 'Taco Bell'.

Simon says Be Well.

Whore_Mouth3868d ago

@Heisenburger Sounds like someone doesn't know how to use the three sea shells.

XisThatKid3868d ago

You sir Heisenburger gets +1 nice! I Loled!

Rimeskeem3869d ago

Just remember people saying the xbox one will win next gen globally is saying half life 3 will be confirmed in the next year

awesomeperson3868d ago

Well, they did hire that new marketing team. May have something to do with the lack of creepy babies this generation.

Ok, this gives a new meaning to the phrase "Run for the border"

TheUndertaker853869d ago

If so hopefully it's done differently than the Vita promotion Sony did with Taco Bell. Employees screwing paying customers isn't cool.

TheUndertaker853869d ago

Taco Bell employees were taking the codes and using them, thus invalidating codes

http://kotaku.com/5884142/t...

Later they also denied prizes, even for many legit winners

http://www.gamesradar.com/t...

Deadpoolio3869d ago

Exactly why go with Diarrhea bell after that poorly handled Vita promotion. Between the employees stealing and redeeming the codes and the actual company trying to claim that winners weren't actually winners, why go through them again? That Vita promotion was a cluster

Ketzicorn3869d ago

Did Taco Bell just give you diarrhea or something? You seem very upset about something that's not that serious.

maniacmayhem3869d ago

Time to get some Gordita crunches!

Deadpoolio3869d ago

Better stop and get some anti diarrhea medicine on your way home with that grade-f dog meat from Diarrhea bell....Maybe some Pepto also their food is disgusting

Majin-vegeta3869d ago

Oh well sux for you.They're food is awesome.

Relientk773869d ago

Omg I love their gordita crunches lol

Idba3869d ago

I bet Taco Bell will se a 50% customer increase now

T23869d ago

They need it . Arent they part of the pizza hut, kfc company ??
Hard times for them

vigilante_man3869d ago

I'm thinking of flying to the US just to eat there!!!

Double_O_Revan3869d ago

I don't think taking an expensive trip just so you can intentionally get food poisoning and diarrhea for the CHANCE of winning a PS4 is a smart move.

vigilante_man3869d ago

Ok. I just changed my mind!!

Almost unbelievably, Days Gone has just turned 5 years old after launching on April 26th, 2019. What's changed in that time?

Such a good game to me. Crazy how different peoples opinions can get.

Crows903h ago(Edited 3h ago)

For me it wasn't that surprising. There was some bad press before. There's also the matter and element of a person's disposition when trying out a certain game. Sometimes you're just not really into the type of game that you're playing so you put it down because you don't like it. Not necessarily because it's a bad game but because you're just not up for something like this. Reviewers have a tough because no matter what they feel like playing they've got to play what's releasing.

I have many times gone back to games that I put down only to thoroughly enjoy them the second time around because either there wasn't another exciting game coming out around the same time or I just had no other games to play and haven't played that type of game in a while. I'm not the type of person that can just play a souls game through all this iterations one after the other without getting burnt out on the formula.

In my opinion this game was great from the start. Some bugs here and there but nothing worse than the most AAA releases during the same time after and before. All I did was wait one week and I had a phenomenal time with the game. No other zombie survival game comes close to how I thoroughly enjoyed this one

-Foxtrot1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Yeah I thought it was pretty decent, it had its flaws but for their first big console single player open world game it's a solid 8/10.

I have never seen an AAA "zombie" game feature as many enemies as the horde sections did, you really had to think about your surroundings and plan carefully.

I feel journalists had an issue with this game from the moment it was announced, they really didn't like the Biker characters and the overall Biker gang theme. If they were anything else I feel it would have had a better chance or at least they'd overlook some of the flaws like they do for certain other open world games. They don't mind waiting weeks or months for a patch knowing its coming but a game that has it Day 1 it's suddenly a big no no? Yeah this was one of those moments that showed you how they cherry pick who to suddenly decide to go harsh on when they want to.

mkis0071h ago

Ill never forget the reviewer who tried to claim the "ride me like you ride your bike" line was anything but a joke...they (sarah and deacon) explicitly call it a joke and the reviewer still misinformed the reader about it as if it was a literal thing.

Michiel19891h ago

the score on metacritic is 71 from journos, its 9 points lower than your review so stop making stuff up. They didn't hate it from the start, they on average just liked it slightly less than you.

-Foxtrot1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

@Michiel1989

I'm not making anything up, they held a grudge against it and made stuff up themselves like mkis007 has just pointed out. That 71 on Metacritic is why it didn't get a sequel.

Anyway how can I make anything up when I didn't even mention metacritic in my original post?

Leeroyw3h ago

Second act of that game far surpassed the first. Which is why people felt it didn't live up to the hype of the trailers. Personally I loved it. But it was a slog to get your bike and weapons up to skill.

Inverno2h ago

Was gonna post a brick wall of text but I'll keep it short. Pardon my French but f**k the media for the hate they gave this game. If you have a PC to play it on you can get it as low as 10 bucks, and if you have a PS then it's a no brainer. Totally worth a play.

phatak2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

I don't even comment here often but had to for this game, I still stand by my opinion that this was one of the top 10 games of the ps4 generation, I preferred days gone over god of war, horizon and last of us 2, the launch version was definitely piss poor and that messed up the reviews for this game, honestly some games deserve a re-review or post patch review as the metacritic score stays forever but the reality is its not even the same game anymore, the ps5 patch is amazing and the pc version which I play on nowadays is one of the best looking games ever, complete shame that we wont get a sequel, god of war got one, horizon got one, last of us got one, spider man got one,ghosts of tshushima about to get one but this game wont get one, sucks to be honest.

Ps3/360 era had some hidden underated games for me it was shadows of the damned, alice madness returns that deserved more sales and a sequel/ higher scores, and similarly for the ps4 era it was days gone, and dying light 1 that deserved much more love, dying light atleast got a sequel, everyone needs to play this game once and judge for themselves, for me its officially the most underrated game of the ps4 era, go play it if you haven't.

andy852h ago

Awesome game. Just bought it for my laptop last week
